I would be cool with chill people setting up tents for a day or two or at night or whatever. But who’s going to be picking the used heroin needles up out of the grass and wrangling the drug dealers and gang members when they start showing up? The reason peole don’t want tent villages is this, not because they simply hate the “unhoused”.
Don’t pretend like you’ve ever seen a needle on the ground. People that say stuff like that are too scared to even walk near a homeless camp, let alone look at the ground while you do so.

Making some pretty out there assumptions about the kind of people who are homeless, my dude…
